The Valse Viennoise dates originally from 1962, and was first written for piano solo. This was then re-arranged for violin and piano in 2000, and dedicated to Reginald Robins?s Kortn? Hungarian Orchestra, who gave many Caf? Continental Concerts in the Plymouth area back in the sixties, and at which my parents and I were often guest soloists. It is cast in the style of a Fritz Kreisler Waltz, and would make an excellent short encore!

For its first public performance in May 2003, when it was played by top violinist, Peter Fisher, as part of a Gala Concert in aid of the WARChild charity at the City Museum, Plymouth, I have reworked some of the previous passage-work for violin and piano. The whole effect is for fun ? it?s a stylistic pastiche ? but for all that, should come off well in performance, even if both parts are now more demanding!

Great work
I really like this duet, my teacher bought it and he's having me learn it. So far it's a very fun piece to play, although there are a few measures that are extremely hard to play such as measures 44, 86, 120 and 122, but overall this should be great to play. Thanks!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fffffffffffffffffffffffffff
